Manoir Bruit is the sound creation programme of association Bruit, in collaboration with Haus am Gern and Château de Sibra.
From 16 to 22 October 2025, Biel/Bienne-based sound artist and double bass player Sebastian Rotzler is artist-in-residence at Manoir Bruit in Sibra, France, as the seventh guest of the programme. His project is called Klangheimliche Welt-Geräusch-Tage (Secretive World of Sound Days).
Klangheimliche Welt-Geräusch-Tage
You can listen to the Klangheimliche Welt-Geräusch-Tage on site or via the streaming project. The Klangheimliche Welt-Geräusch-Tage will take place from 16 to 22 October at Manoir Bruit, Chateau Sibra, at the foot of the Pyrenees.
The castle and park, as well as the interior of a clavichord, become a gathering place for the Ever-Forgetting Archive of World Sounds. Little by little, I add the sound finds to each other and weave them into the ambient sounds at Manoir Bruit. New additions can be heard daily between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m.
Five times a day, I mix myself instrumentally into the world sound collection. Each session lasts between 5 and X minutes. Please note: there will be no live session on Saturday 18 October. On the other days: Early, when the sunlight illuminates the horizon (at 7:06 a.m. on the first day – two minutes later each subsequent day), at midday, when the sun is at its zenith (at 1:38 p.m. – fixed), in the afternoon, when the shadows grow longer (at 4:38 p.m. on the first day – two minutes earlier each subsequent day), after sunset (at 7:07 p.m. on the first day – two minutes earlier each subsequent day), after dark (at 8:09 p.m. on the first day – two minutes earlier each subsequent day).
From 24 October onwards, the Archive-of-World-Sounds will continue to blend into the ambient noise with shorter or longer excerpts. This can also be heard at the Locus Sonus livestream, as well as on the webpage here in its clean form.
Welcome to the Secretive World Sound Days at Chateau Sibra.
